Materials Needed:

- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Crochet Instructions:Â
Step 1: Creating the Foundation Ring
Chain 8 and join with a slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
Step 2: Round One
Chain 1, work 12 double crochet (dc) into the ring.
Join with a slip stitch into the first double crochet.
Fasten off to change colors.
At this point, you should have a small circular base with 12 double crochets.
Step 3: Round Two (Adding the Petals)
Join a new color into any double crochet stitch from Round One.
Chain 1, work 1 double crochet into the same stitch.
Repeat the following pattern:
Work 1 double crochet into the next stitch.
Chain 11, then work 1 double crochet into the same stitch.
Work 1 double crochet into the next stitch, chain 1, and 1 double crochet into the next stitch.
Continue this pattern around, omitting the final double crochet and join with a slip stitch into the first double crochet.
You will now have the base structure for the petals with chain loops forming around the center.
Step 4: Round Three (Shaping the Petals)
Work the following into each 11-chain loop from the previous round:
18 double treble crochet (dtr) stitches (To make a double treble crochet, wrap the yarn around the hook twice before inserting it into the loop).
Slip stitch into the 1-chain space of the previous round.
Repeat this process for each chain loop around.
Join with a slip stitch to finish the round.
The petals will take shape with each chain loop filled with beautiful, tall double treble stitches, giving the flower a lovely, full appearance.
Step 5: Round Four (Finishing Touch)
Using a contrasting color, work a round of double crochet stitches around each petal as follows:
Work 9 double crochet up one side of the petal.
Chain 3, then work 9 double crochet down the other side of the petal.
Work 1 double crochet into the chain 1 space of Round Two.
Continue this pattern around all petals.
Join with a slip stitch to end.
Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
Tips for Success:
- Color Choices: Experiment with different color combinations for the petals and center. Bright, contrasting colors will make your flower stand out!
- Blocking: Gently block your flower after finishing to help it lay flat and showcase the petal shape.
- Yarn Alternatives: Try using a thinner yarn like cotton for a delicate, airy look or bulkier yarn for a more textured, bold flower.
